A diver with a British practice bomb found in Tremadog Bay several years ago, shows what one of the WWII German bombs near Gwynt y Mor windfarm off Pensarn could look like now.

Gwynt y Môr is a £2billion offshore windfarm which is set to generate enough energy from renewable sources to power the equivalent of approximately 400,000 homes when it is fully operational later this year.
